#bassgear medias

“Playing heavy music with a 4-string?!”
I’ve owned many different bass instruments through the years. As I evolve as a #musician I’ve noticed certain patterns of thought emerging; do I really care about #bassgear ? No, actually, I don’t! How can I go even more simplistic? By eliminating factors in my setup! It seems to me that my time is best spent making and playing music, not nerding gear. And besides - if I were to travel with a high end bass I would constantly worry about scratches and other imperfections. It’s much harder to fix complex stuff! #soundisinthehands#bassplayer#bass#tourlife#keepitsimple#fenderbass#leprous

Major throwback! As I visited my old church this sunday, I somehow came across the first bass I have ever laid my hands on 😍 just a little Squier 5 string. This bass might not be the best at being bass but it sure did spark a passion in me to be the bass player that I am now 😌. It's humbling to know where it all started from learning the first ever bass line (sweet child o mine) to the songs I have transcribed now. I for sure still needs a lot of learning to do but it's great to look back from time to time where it all started. Just goes to show that you don't need the best gear in the world to create something beautiful!
P.S. Now I know why it always feels weird to play 4 string basses 😂
